I love Idan Raichel

This past weekend we did a wedding at Central Synagogue. The bride & groom requested we do an Idan Raichel song Mi Ma'amakim, which means "from the depths." We arranged it for piano, string quartet, flute and we were honored to accompany Cantor Angela Buchdahl who has a voice like rich velvet. It's a gorgeous love song.

From the depths I called to you, come to me
With your return the light in my eyes will return
[It's] not finished, Your touch does not leave
May it come and give light what one hears in your laughter
From the depths I called to you, come to me
By a moon lighting your way back to me
Spread and melted with the touch of your hand
A questioner whispers in your ear
